Thanks.
I ended up buying Lenovo Twist 12.5'' with Staples by price matching OfficeDepot + $75 off coupon. Final price is $732.
It's also kinda funny computers that offer mail-in-rebates are suddenly 'Out of Stock' today online. The best, cheapest i3, i5 and i7's are all not available online...go figure.

Yup...mysteriously good deal laptops are all "out of stock". Luckily I bought 15.6" Toshiba i3 about a week ago with $75 coupon and $50 rebate...total came out around $327 tax included.

They could be gaming us, but it may not be a conspiracy, but rather, people just buying out the inventory with the coupon.
I just noticed that Staples reduced the sale price from two weeks ago. So using $75 coupon two weeks ago is much better deal than using $75 coupon at current sales price. For example, Toshiba Satellite C855-S5194 15.6 Laptop was $429 before the $50 rebate, but now it's actually $399 AFTER $50 rebate...so the price is actually $30 higher than two weeks ago.
I tried to get a price match from Best Buy on the Asus laptop and it was a no-go. Apparently Best Buy has modified the price match policy? I was hoping to use my multiple gift cards to buy the laptop but will likely just buy from Staples at $75 less instead.
I'm thinking about taking a coupon to Office Depot and asking them to price match the coupon on a laptop there. Problem is it's 60 miles there (120 round trip) so we're talking $30 in gas at the current price. Therefore saving $75 turns into closer to $45...not to mention the time involved, which you could argue makes it maybe not worth the effort.
Damn Staples for having this deal yet their best laptops suddenly out of stock!
Any one know, Does OfficeDepot price matches with Staples online price (even out of stock at Staples.com) and on top of it apply this $75 off? I was looking for Asus S200E and no stock in 100 miles from my place in Staples. So do I get the same with OfficeDepot ? $449 - $75 + tax ?
On other note, just want to share... When I called one of the Staples store they said they have stock and when I drove 20 miles one way they still show 3 as inventory and the store manager says there is NO stock So think well before going for longer drives to get it.

@lordoffire --- you are lucky... I went to OfficeDepot to price match. Store manager doesn't want to price match as Staples (near by my location) doesn't have any in stock.

@lordoffire --- I asked first to price match with Staples $449 ... then store manager said NO. (as no stock in Staples near my place) Then asked if she can apply Staples $75 off coupon on OfficeDepot price $499... No luck

And the BBB, so the public can be aware of the problem and the resolution, if any. And... if a company has a pattern of behavior, make sure your state Attorney General office is aware. Every single state has some kind of Deceptive Trade Practice regulations that prohibit companies from saying one thing and doing another (like having a "price match" policy that they don't honor).

I bought that one to. I like it alright but it seems to forget it has a mouse from time to time for up to a minute. Then it starts working again. Gonna back up this weekend and refresh windows to see if that fixes it. other than that I like it just fine

According to their website the policy says the item has to be in stock so it might be hard case to prove.
